I've often said that the difference between good and great is just 1%. The delta between someone in the top 5% of wage earners in this country and someone in the top 10% can be as little as 1%. It doesn't take a whole lot of effort to stand out and get ahead of the person next to you. Most times, all it takes is just an extra 1% of energy, effort, determination or the willingness to try something different. Work a little harder or work a little smarter. That's all it takes. Those who reap the greatest rewards in life...most often just put in a little more...that's the 1% I'm talking about.
